Demon King – Chapter 656 – A Torturous Night

“Are you really… okay with this? Just leaving Jiaqi outside like that…” Yuki, holding his little girlfriend in the room, was still not very at ease about the situation outside.

“Relax, there are only two possible outcomes for Stupid Qi…”

The little Demon Lord said, then raised… three fingers at Yuki.

“Pulling an all nighter in the living room, getting dragged into Little Ya’s room… and pulling an all nighter in Little Ya’s room~”

“Aren’t those two possibilities? Why did you list three situations?”

Yuki’s mouth twitched, and he felt like the girl in his arms had completely missed the point.

“Usually the Four Heavenly Kings always end up being five anyway, what is wrong with listing three situations for two possibilities~”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord spouted nonsense with a straight face, reaching out to poke Yuki’s chest.

“They used to sleep together plenty when they were little, and Stupid Qi would never dare do anything to Little Ya anyway. He does not have that kind of thought at all, you can totally relax. Compared to that, let’s sleep, sleep!”

‘But how old are they now? Lu Brat, this is basically you handing your own sister straight to Jiaqi’s mouth… that is straight up selling your sister! Even though it kind of was Little Eiya bringing this on herself by keeping him here?’

Even though he was still a bit worried inside, since the older sister herself did not care, Yuki could not really say anything more. So he followed her lead and obediently lay down holding her…

In the other room, Jiaqi stared blankly at the ceiling. Turning his head to look at the silver haired girl lying beside him, his heart was filled with a mountain of things he wanted to complain about, yet he did not know what to say.

“I thought… you would help me set up a bed on the floor…”

Biting his lip, Jiaqi held it in for a long time before slowly forcing out this sentence…

Why does nothing follow the normal script these days? Even if we are childhood friends, you cannot just drag me onto the bed like this!

“Where would I get extra blankets to make a bed for you? Letting you sleep here is already being nice to you. So shut up and sleep quietly… do you have any idea what kind of mood I am in right now…”

Lying on her side with her back to Jiaqi, Eiya’s puffed cheeks were also flushed red. Unlike a certain silver haired girl with zero self awareness as a girl, Eiya actually cared a lot about this kind of thing…

‘If not because this is my fault…’ thinking that, Eiya’s cheeks puffed out even more. Her body curled up slightly, looking exactly like a little kitten curling into a ball out of unease.

“I should have made you two boys sleep together, and slept with my sister myself… what kind of arrangement even is this? Oh right, you are not allowed to cross this line in the middle. If you cross it, you are a beast!”

Seeing his little childhood friend suddenly turn over and point at the boundary line made of a towel placed between them, Jiaqi no longer even wanted to complain about how ancient this gag was. So as long as I do not cross it, I am worse than a beast, right?

When it came to matters between men and women, Jiaqi was exactly the type Eiru described, timid to the extreme. Even if being worse than a beast, Jiaqi would never cross that boundary line to offend Eiya.

‘Sigh, just get through the night peacefully, endure it.’

Jiaqi really wanted to just close his eyes and sleep like this, but the pleasant fragrance coming from the girl beside him was honestly torturing his nerves.

No one knew how long passed before the exhausted Eiya, curled up, had already fallen asleep. The moonlight streaming into the room through the gap in the curtains also reflected off her beautiful silver white long hair.

Glancing over now and then at the girl’s sleeping face, Jiaqi felt for the first time that his little childhood friend was so adorable… and also became even more aware that the girl beside him was no longer just a simple little girl.

‘Stop, stop, lust is emptiness, emptiness is lust. She is Little Ya, Hui Jiaqi, calm down…’

Hypnotizing himself in his head, Jiaqi turned over and tried hard not to look at the tempting sleeping face beside him. This is worse than staying in the living room. It is way too torturous.

But, Jiaqi seemed to have forgotten one very important thing. Those silver-haired girl sisters, when sleeping, shared one particular habit…

“Eek?!”

The arm suddenly draped over him almost made Jiaqi cry out in shock. Just as he managed to suppress the panic, he felt something gently rubbing against his back.

‘Oh shit, this girl also hugs things in her sleep! How did I forget that?!’

Thinking this, Jiaqi trembled as he turned his head to take a look. Sure enough, Eiya had already crawled over and was treating him like a giant body pillow.

‘No, I have to get out of here! This is not a place for humans to stay at!’

Trying to pry Eiya’s arms off to escape Jiaqi’s current figure, it was hard to say whether he was a good man being considerate and responsible toward Eiya, or just a pure coward…

— One night later —

Because it gets light later in winter, and because Yuki and Jiaqi needed to set off early to get to school, when the two of them crawled out of bed, the sky was still dark.

“What is up with you, those dark circles?”

After washing up and gathering in the living room, using his phone for light, Yuki was startled when he saw Jiaqi’s heavy dark circles.

“Damn it, I could not sleep at all… I sat there the whole night.”

Jiaqi complained in a low voice. After using a pillow as a decoy to escape last night, he had sat at Eiya’s desk for the entire night.

“Before they wake up, let’s get out of here quick… I don’t want to stay in this hellhole for even one more minute.”

Urging Yuki, Jiaqi just wanted to hurry back to school to catch up on sleep. Last night had been way too torturous.

“The door is locked. You can urge all you want, it will not help…”

“Then what do we do, wait for her parents to get up and open the door for us? You want us to be invited to tea?!”

Jiaqi was almost losing his mind. He did not want to be treated by this family as some girl stealing pervert. And the school was far, it would take time to get there. Why the hell did he follow them here yesterday!

“At times like this, we need our all purpose Lu Brat to make her appearance.”

Yuki smiled and pushed out a silver-haired girl who had somehow appeared behind him.

“Ha yaw~”

Yawning, Her Majesty the Demon Lord fiddled with the keyhole using two pieces of wire for a bit… with a click, the door was opened just like that.

“Holy shit, unbeatable! I almost forgot Lu Brat, you are top-tier at lockpicking!”

Jiaqi did not expect that the skill she developed from being locked at home so often in the past could actually come in handy at a time like this.

Amid Jiaqi’s cries of calling her a god and unbeatable, the little Demon Lord walked up to Yuki and, like she was asking for praise, stretched her head out in front of him, even pointing at it a few times.

“Good girl~ my Lu Brat is the best.”

Understanding immediately, Yuki gently stroked his little girlfriend’s head, even scratching her chin a few times, looking completely unable to put her down.

“Damn it, stop petting the girl and hurry up and run! If we do not run now, it will be too late!”

“OK, coming right away, let me pat Lu Brat a bit more…”

“Pat your head! Hurry up and go! If her parents get up later, neither of us will be able to escape!”
